Hello Matthew,

Thank you for your email. We do not try and compete based solely on price. We prefer to add value, hence the website is more about information about rechargeable batteries and why folks find them frequently so frustrating to use. Because value is so relative, it all depends on the customers perspective. Some of our prices are better than others, while some are not...it is a constantly changing thing and depends greatly on where our supplier is in the food chain. 

Small companies that cannot add value but merely try and compete solely on price invariably lose, especially with the big box stores and "major brands". Hence, we are developing our own "brand" of batteries. 

Example: Energizer AA NiMH batteries at the local Walmart are $10.97 for a pack or four, our price for the same Energizer four pack of NiMH batteries is $12.51, does that make our prices bad? We have our greenbatteries.com brand of AA NiMH batteries, that are actually a better battery than the Energizer brand if you test them on a battery analyzer, for $2.79 each - aka $11.16 for four batteries, or $2.50 if you buy 20 or more, aka $10.00 for four batteries. Does that make our prices good? 

It's all in your perspective...

I know that many folks use our website information to educate themselves and then get their batteries elsewhere - that is OK - more rechargeable batteries in use is a good thing for our environment. 

Sincerely,

Curtis
